Best Excuses to Get Out of School Swimming Lessons

Cazaam

The Top Ten

1 I'm on my period

Only if you're a girl. - SpinelliFan

Yup, works well :)
But only for girls

My high school requires a written note from your parents for this to qualify as an acceptable reason to be excused.

Only females are allowed to talk like that!

2 I forgot my trunks

But then you'll hear the dreaded "Spare costumes. Put one on." from your teacher. - Entranced98

Why would you want to get out of swimming?

Ah, the classic, It usually can work if done once, but if done again, they might make you put a spare pair on. - Cazaam

There are school swimming lessons!?!?!? Srry Ima bit behind...

3 I'm allergic to chlorine

My friend is allergic

Well, the teacher would say why did you even sign up - MrGuyDudeMan

This one would probably work, don't quote me on that though, it depends on the teacher sometimes. - Cazaam

20 percent of people who use swimming pools have admitted urinating in them.
And..it's actually a misconception that chlorine in water turns your eyes red, it's actually a mixture of urine and chlorine. - Ananya

4 I'm feeling nauseous

Make it look like you do and act like you do as well. - Cazaam

5 The water pressure hurts my ears

This could work especially if you have an earache. - Cazaam

6 I pulled a muscle

Like the nausea excuse, act like you have. - Cazaam

7 I've got a open wound... down there

To make sure they don't look, say that you've got an open wound down in the groin. - Cazaam

8 I have swimmers ear

It's a pretty good excuse especially if you come to school with an earplug.

9 I've got a migraine
10 Water is too cold

Not a valid excuse in most schools

Nah, not too effective if the teachers can see nobody else is physically getting hypothermia. - Entranced98

It's horrid in the Changing Room, people see you naked, watch you and you are half naked in it.

The Contenders

11 I don’t know how to swim

This would never work - MrGuyDudeMan

Does not work

Alright, then get that life jacket on and do 10 laps!

12 I am feeling unwell
13 I have an ear infection

€�This one works all the time”

14 I have a headache

This has worked many ti mes

15 My mom wants me home...
16 I have a chest infection
17 I don't want to get water in my ear
18 I have hurt my knee

This will get you out of swimming for sure. you most likely got std's from the gym teacher anyway.

Limp all day and get crutches/bandages
